Headscratchers / Star Trek: Voyager S3E8 "Future's End"

• Voyager has the capability to give surgical makeovers to crewmembers to pass as others species on away missions. We just saw Neelix made to look like a Ferengi only a few episodes ago. The crew takes pains to dress in 90s fashions to fit in. Why do they simply give Tuvok a hat to hide his Vulcan traits?
• Why is Kim so perplexed by the "passivity" of watching television? Even if television doesn't exist, we know that literature, music, theater, and other forms of "passive" entertainment are quite appreciated in the 24th century.
